This is for anyone wanting to learn how to play Old Dangerfield, by Bill Monroe. Old Dangerfield is a modal instrumental. When I tried to look up info on this song, all I turned up was lots of speculation, but it seems like most people think the song is named after Bill Monroe’s dog.

Ok so this video is of Mike Block and Darol Anger playing this song, and while this video is nothing but awesome, it’s probably not a video to learn this song from. So if you do find a good one, please leave it in the comments and I’ll add it:

So I recently compiled this for a bluegrass group I’m a part of, but I thought this is good info for lots of people. Hope this is useful for someone. The first tune I’ve compiled is called St. Anne’s Reel, a really fun tune in D.

Scroll down if you just want the backup tracks.

So here are 5 different videos for various instruments where someone
shows how to play St. Anne’s Reel. (People rock!)

If you are a fiddle player and like reading music (maybe classically
trained), Pete Martin (an amazing fiddle and mando player) has some
fiddle tune books he offers in PDF or off of Amazon. The PDFs are
offered on the honor system, so you can download for free and if you
like them you can buy them.http://petimarpress.com/books.html
